Non Cub Cadet Briggs engine question
I have a Trac Vac with a 8HP Briggs (Same exact motor that's on my Troy Bilt Super Tomahawk chipper) on it that every time I've used it until today, it's never had any issues. The problem I had with it today is I was having a heck of a time keeping it running. I had to have the choke at least partially on to keep it going, and sometimes it would almost die, but then come back to life. I rebuilt the carb I believe last year, after which it ran and started much better. Normally, needing the choke to keep it going would be an indication that it's not getting enough fuel.
But here's the strange part - it only seemed to have trouble when I was moving (I rigged up the Trac vac boot that was intended for an older JD Zero Turn to the CC deck with some 'country engineering' to help with sucking up leaves). I discovered that after I got all the leaves sucked up that I could by mowing over them and had transitioned to manually sucking up the piles that were left, it ran perfectly at full throttle with no choke, but then as soon as I hopped on the CC and started to move, it would start to sputter and die. Any thoughts as to why it seems like the motion was causing it to die? |

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
